AquaPod 24G LOTS OF PICS

[BCT182]

Well here are some pics of my other tank. Its a new project so there's still alot to be added livestock wise.
Its a 24 gallon glass cube with rounded corners.
One 70 watt 14,000 HQI halide with 6 blue LED's and 6 white LED's
The lighting came with the tank.
There are 2 built in overflow chambers.

The first houses the skimmer and Chateo

The overfill of the skimmer flows below as I run the skimmer very wet and the collection cup is small.

The second chamber holds the return pump (a rio 2100) and the filter sponge which I rinse and reuse ever other day. It also holds the heater.

The rio 2100 pumps around just under 700gph where the pump that came with the kit only ran about 290gph.
I plumbed the return to split into 2.

I run the lights on three different timers. HQI/blue LED's/white LED's/back to Blue/Back to HQI.

Here's some recent live stock additions that seem to be doing nicely.

Very nice ... I am going to like that.

How do you like that skimmer?

And how do you have that plumbing attached? Is it 1/2 or 3/4 inch plumbing?

 

[BCT182]

I see you found the thread =) Thanks for the kind words guys.

So far Im actually impressed with the skimmer, its works better than a Sea-clone. LOL

The plumbing is 1/2"

i may have to get one of these now...damn you Brett!

Its glass with rounded corners.

I took the detachable outer return sleeve and heated it with a hair dryer to soften the plastic, and pressed it into a 1/2 "T" fitting. Its super tight and I didn't used any glue.

Nice set-up, I like it that they are rounded glass on three sides.

 

[Detri]

Nice little set up there.

Hey Brett, did you remove the plumbing picture or I'm loco... I'm still fiddling with this and am going to switch pumps when the plumbing expert is not busy, so I wanted to try to weezle that split return you talked about... but I see no pic.

 

[BCT182]

I will email them to ya if you'd like? I ended up selling the tank to April, but still have the pics.
Brett
